HeartLinks: A Puzzle Called Love changes
Over the last several months, I've been hard at work adding features and assembling levels for DokiToki: Time Slows Down When You're in Love, in addition to handling some logistics like communicating with freelancers and securing funding for this project. In case you didn't already know, I am working on this game as a solo dev. Since my skills lie in programming and level design, I'm relying on the help of many talented freelancers to fully bring my vision to life. This includes the work of 2D artist, 3D modelers, voice actors, composers, and graphic designers among other specialists. Of course, these individuals deserve to be paid in full for their work, which, as you might imagine, can get quite expensive. More than what I could handle on my own.
That's where Kickstarter comes in! The plan is to use Kickstarter to raise the funding needed to pay these amazing folks for their wonderful work in bringing the characters and game world to life. Over the next few months, I'll be doing work behind the scenes to finalize plans with these collaborators in preparation for the full Kickstarter campaign. With this in mind, I've gone ahead an published the project's "pre-launch" page which you can find here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dokitoki/dokitoki-time-slows-down-when-youre-in-love
If you're interested in potentially supporting the projects, please consider following our Kickstarter and sharing the link with anyone you think might find the game fun! By following on Kickstarter, you'll be notified when the campaign fully launches.
Besides the Kickstarter, I am also planning on posting monthly devlogs via announcements just like this one, so be on the lookout for the first devlog coming soon!
Thanks for your time in reading this, and Happy Holidays to anyone who is celebrating!
